Once again, Bruce Power employees have stepped up in a big way to help the community.

Tuesday morning, a fund-raising drive on-site raised more than $14,000 for the United Way of Bruce Grey’s Owen Sound Fire Victims Fund which will assist the 15 families left homeless during a string of early-morning fires Aug. 10. The company also donated $12,000, while president and chief executive officer Duncan Hawthorne made a personal donation of $10,000 to the fund.

“The generosity of our employees never ceases to amaze me,” Hawthorne said. “Before we even began planning this fund-raiser, I received numerous messages from staff encouraging us to hold this collection for the fire victims in Owen Sound. People simply could not wait to help these members of our community in their time of need.”

The Owen Sound Fire Victims Fund is providing food, shelter and clothing to the families impacted by last week's fires. Bruce Power’s donation pushes the total raised to more than $200,000, according to the United Way.
